This study is testing a new way to help adults with trichotillomania (hair-pulling disorder) using a device called the Keen2 Predictive Awareness Bracelet. This bracelet, worn on your wrist, works with a mobile app to detect hand movements that might lead to hair pulling. It gives gentle vibrations to make you more aware of these movements. For eight weeks, you'll use the bracelet, and for the first four weeks, you'll also record information about your pulling episodes. In the last four weeks, the bracelet will give you personalized alerts to help you manage pulling. The study will look at how easy the bracelet is to use, how well people stick with it, and if it helps reduce hair pulling. We don't know the current recruitment status.

Study design

This is an open-label feasibility study, meaning everyone knows what treatment they are receiving. It involves about 10 participants and does not compare the bracelet to another treatment.

What's involved

You would wear the Keen2 bracelet and use its mobile app for eight weeks. During the first four weeks, you'd log information about your hair-pulling episodes.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Your hair-pulling severity will be measured at the start, at week 8, and again at week 12 after the study intervention ends.
